when i get new tires, and polish up my wheels, i am going to run 275/60/15's in the back, and 235/60/15's in the front, that will be almost two inches lower in the front, and will give sort of a rake to it

Bigarmzz, They look like 29" tires that's what I have now.
Maybe 'cause I'm using 7" or smaller ralley's they look thin. The shop owner is telling me the same as you. I guess I'm not in a hurry. I'll ust see how it looks from the side. But I really want a wide tire Like 10-11". I guess I'll have to decide if I will buy 2 new rear rallies At 8" or 10" or 4 new wheel at 8". 82' I'd like to see some pics of the rake. I might have a issue that the back is 1/2 lower then the front that. That's why I asked about the bigger smaller tires. thanks bob
